Looong time ago. so the detail is sketchy, I had a sram twist grip shifter that was not indexed for the front. 3 or 4 clicks between rings and the ability to trim it to stop any rub. Likewise there's plenty of choice of non indexed trigger shifters, the thumbie sort, some pretty cheap though I only ...

Watch the footage, guilty of an offence or not, it's thuggish behaviour, even in that short clip there were opportunities to walk away, he didn't. It's the sort of behaviour that regrettably takes place outside night clubs up and down the country every weekend, very few of those charged can afford t...

For me, size is everything, there is no way I could sleep comfortably in a bag like the one linked however warm it kept me. Are you using something a similar size now? Also consider heat regulation as well as retention, in warmer weather a full length zip helps with this. I've gone to the other ext...

The A74 is now a Motorway the alternative is B7076 B7078 (ncn route 74) it’s mostly boring and has a rough surface but does the job and makes navigation easy. I’m getting the impression that is going to be important to you. :D I don't have much to add to that, other than one of the redeeming featur...

Leaving aside the practicality of using gear cable, I'm not convinced that if replacing 14" with compressionless made such a difference there wasn't something wrong with the original. Is it known how much normal brake cable compresses? What else might be going on?

How about Sheldon? Do you think you know better than them all? Warning: Since compressionless housing relies on plastic to hold it together, it is not as strong as conventional spiral housing, and should never be used for brakes! The loads applied to brake cables can easily cause compressionless hou...

So was I, but it fits a treat. I don't understand Brucey's point of view. Never ever had a gear outer "collapse" or heard of it before. Well you've never used one as a brake outer before either :roll: It's not Brucey's point of view, it's every bike mechanic and cable manufacturers, I cou...

However noncompetitive I'd like to be I can't stop the feeling of pleasure passing someone. I think it must be something deep within us, of course it's not a fair competition or comparison, they're probably not aware we're racing, or they may just be out for a gentle pootle, or be avoiding getting s...
